Default Front Plate Bracket ?

I think I like the Altec retractable (not powered) b/c it doesn't impede air flow into radiator and you can easily hide it. Anyone install this unit? I presume you need to drill into the bottom of the fascia, correct? Other solutions that you would recommend? I'm having a Clear Bra installed this weekend and will be putting the front bracket on after the CB has fully cured. Thanks.

And, Top Flight bracket seems to be a popular choice on CF.

GM should supply every Corvette with a Top Flight.

I personally don't want to drill holes or use sticky tape so I'm going with one of these.

Now this looks like a bracket I would buy. But man is it expensive. But I guess its the price to pay to not drill. Love it.

I did 6000 miles last june in the western USA, deserts, mountains, air temps of 105 degrees, and my vette temps were never off normal. I have the center mounted Top Flight, and while it may block some air, not enough too make a difference at 105 degrees in Nevada.

I am not trying to change your mind as to the bracket you desire, more a case of letting you know that air blockage was not a problem on my 2010 C6.
